Sterksain Family/Aethelmaer

Aethelmaer Sterksain

He is the favorite of his family, and also the second oldest.

Early Childhood

Born into the Sterksain Family under his father, Garland, and his mother, Elira. He always sought out for things, with a unique sense of curiosity, his parents often kept a close eye on him, as he would always try to escape from his parents clutches, as if he were in prison. Barred away from the world, he always tried to escape, and once he did.

His First Adventure

He was only a boy of four, when one day, he unlatched the door to his pen, and with the front door of his house open, he simply walked out. He stood at the street in front of him, the hustle and bustle of people with their goods, and the merchants tending to their customers. Aethelmaer walked around a little bit, and being the curious being he is, climbed into someone's caravan. No sooner did he climb into it, it started to move. So he layed back into the hay, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. He awoke, to a night sky full of stars, and not a single cloud. Sitting up, his stomach was aching him. Luckily, he had climbed into a food caravan, and found some carrots that satisfied his hunger. Also, seemingly satisfied with the new scenery, he jumps off of the caravan, and stood at the edge of a great forest. Looking down the path, he saw a horse quickly dashing towards him, thinking quickly he dodged it and dove into the woods. With that he got up and ran further and further, until he was too tired to stand. He sat upon a rock, and taking note of his surroundings, spotted a cave, not too far off. His curiosity gave him a new energy, and ran towards the cave. Peering in he saw nothing but darkness, and decided to wait until morning to explore.
